Expressing Disapproval of the U.N.'s Vote Against American Sovereignty

"This vote today at the United Nations is yet another example of the general assembly’s anti-Israel nature. It is also an attack on America’s right as a sovereign nation to place our embassies where we choose, and to recognize the reality of capital cities around the world. As the founder and Chairman of the House Sovereignty Caucus, and a co-Chairman of the Israel Allies Caucus and GOP Israel Caucus, I introduced H.Res.671 to support Ambassador Nikki Haley’s “No” vote on United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/ES-10/L.22. I echo President Trump’s message to all nations who vote against our right to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem: American generosity will not be taken advantage of and our friendship will not be taken for granted."
